Air Peace flight
Air Peace Limited has announced direct international flight services from Abuja to both London Heathrow and London Gatwick Airports, effective October 26, 2025.
The fare went live on Sunday starting from one million naira round trip.
In a press release by Efe Osifo-Whiskey, the airline’s Spokesperson, he stated that Air Peace has become the first Nigerian carrier to offer direct services from Abuja to both of London’s major international airports, further solidifying its role as a leader in regional and intercontinental aviation.
“Travellers originating from any of Air Peace’s domestic destinations across Nigeria can now book through fares via Abuja to either Heathrow or Gatwick using a single ticket, eliminating the need for multiple bookings or baggage re-checks
“Travellers from London can access multiple destinations across Nigeria using a single Air Peace ticket through Abuja every morning. These destinations are Lagos, Port Harcourt, Enugu, Benin, Warri, Owerri, Kano, Yola, Gombe and Asaba, for now. Other destinations will be added later,” Osifo-Whiskey stated
This provides a competitive advantage, enabling passengers to travel between Nigeria and the United Kingdom with greater ease, efficiency, and value, due to the possibility of choosing multiple cities entry and exit points.
“With a proven track record of challenging the status quo and pioneering transformative routes in African aviation, Air Peace continues to raise the bar with the announcement of the Abuja–London service.
“This latest offer, round-trip fares starting from just N1 Million and unmatched domestic connectivity is yet another bold step in democratising international air travel for Nigerians,” the airline said. (BusinessDay)
